One More Comment On The Kit
Ladies, I just want to make sure you all understand that the kit is a kit, not a tutorial. For those of you who have written me, I have sent information regarding what is and is not included in the kit. It comes with a seven page instructional guide with small pics, illustrating the placement of the stencil on the paper. I go step-by-step putting the card together, an electronic file will also be forwarded to you with large photos (22 I believe) showing you the step-by-step pictures as well.
Please note, while I give the names and numbers of the colored pencils I used, Caren d’Ache Pablo colored pencils (can be purchased at Dick Blick’s, I’ve provided a link on the tutorial), you can use Prisma’s by matching up the color names to Prisma colors, the kit does not include a tutorial for coloring the flowers. It does give instruction on which colors are used on the leaves, the petals, the flower centers, etc.
When I designed this card for my mother, I had no idea of the response and that you all would want a kit. I used the colored pencils of my choice, Caren d’Ache Pablo colored pencils. Why? Because Caren d’Ache Pablo colored pencils are oil based, Prisma’s are wax based. While I love using Prisma’s as well, I chose the Caren d’Ache because the finished result is a softer, dreamier look when used with Gamsol. However, if you have Prisma’s, they will be fine to use, it’s just a matter of preference. Also note, a full-size colored photo of the finished card will be included in the electronic submission as a guide for you to follow when coloring.
I know you are working hard on this project. We much admire you for it. I can’t
wait to get started. As ever, Doris Adams
Doris, I am not getting your e-mail address, I believe you’re typing my e-mail address in the lines above the blue box. You need to go to the side bar (over to the left) and click on “E-Mail Me”, then shoot me an e-mail. I cannot contact you as I don’t have your e-mail address. Thank you, Jerri
Hurray for the kit! I can’t wait to get mine.
